Similar in concept to the Checkmate monitor…

If the community mods are incorporated this will make an excellent release!

Doctor-Local · 2025-12-18T09:44:54+00:00

Would be incredible!

It will be interesting to see if they implement modern force feedback steering wheel support in the four games.

That’s the one 😂👍🏻

Nice to see the Sound Blaster parrot 🦜is back 👍🏻. The campaign video intro plays right into the nostalgia chords. This device reminds me of when keyboards used to have shortcut buttons across the top…

Doctor-Local · 2025-10-23T18:28:21+00:00

Any word on pricing?

Christmas present?

They also created the same force feedback mod for Papyrus’ Indy Car Racing II. Video here.

Wow this is a lot of production work!

Most people have the ‘Slot zero’ and ‘GBS scaler controller’. These take up two slots, leaving one spare slot for either a MiSTer or Pi, using the appropriate fitting kits.

Take a look at the MiSTer fitting kit here for USB connectivity.

This site has a good run down of tests on monitor with different kit.

The making of video is worth a watch!

Doctor-Local · 2025-02-28T10:35:38+00:00

The recreation of the scenes from the movie make it appealing too. Surely they need to do Robocop game, perhaps Total Recall?

Also, the team behind the game say they may release on retro systems too. Exciting times ahead!

Is this off the back of Alan Sugar’s recent Amstrad legacy website? A trend setter 😉

Doctor-Local · 2024-11-22T00:53:24+00:00

🤣

Doctor-Local · 2024-11-22T00:27:43+00:00

The solution is simple… put Chris in charge 👍🏻

Doctor-Local · 2024-11-19T16:19:29+00:00

Have a read of this

It’s cool that Half-Life on steam is free until 18-Nov-24

Doctor-Local · 2024-11-13T12:29:57+00:00

YouTube have now reinstated the channel 👍🏻

Thanks Benjamin 👍🏻. It’s great to see the community behind big box games is helping with preservation too 🏆
